Running Behind

Am running way behind today. We had some thundershowers and I always shut the computer off when we have them.

I was so inspired by yesterdays total overhaul of my cabinet that I did go ahead and do two today. It has been years since I did this and it astounds me all the crap that was in the back of the cabinets. I threw so much a way - it really does feel good to do that. I am left with a nicely organized baking cabinet and, get ready for this, and empty one. For the moment. It is kind of a weird cabinet. It has the bottom shelf and then halfway up it has a half a shelf - so that you can have two levels of stuff in the back but only one (tall) one in the front. I am pondering the best use of this space. I am going to get some trays that will fit side by side and can then put things in it - one good idea I read somewhere,(you buy inexpensive baking pans - like 9 x 13's from the dollar store, spray paint them all to match and then you can slide them in and slide out easily) but the upper back level is hard to get to so I know I don't want everyday stuff there. I am leaning toward putting a small winerack on the shelf and then on the side can set other liquor bottles. We aren't big drinkers, in fact, The Rock doesn't drink at all. So this might be a good use of the space.

I am thinking of taking seldom used baking pans or extra bowls and storing them in the back of the bottom. Then maybe cereal and snacks in the front in two trays. Of course, putting the seldom used baking pans and such there means I am going after the baker's rack next. Hmmm. Well, it does put off doing the main pantry cabinet and that is a good thing. LOL I will probably tackle that one next week.

Dinner tonight was easy. I had a chef's salad and TWC is having canned kid's pasta - The Rock has his monthly eating meeting at his sportsman's club. Canned kid's pasta is a major treat for TWC so she is quite happy. She had a small salad earlier.

We are having a party Saturday night and I have been planning that.

It is much cooler today, that is I suppose the good thing about the storms. Oh, heck, the rain was a great thing - we needed it. I got some laundry done earlier and worked a bit with TWC on cleaning her room.

And I got some reading done. Not too bad a day.
